An interesting looking "art deco" BMW build, not a K bike though,

Yup, but I just noticed the lack of ground clearance. First railroad crossing and that bike going to throw it's rider like a stubborn horse.

That is a thing of beauty!!

I'd modify my stance regarding modifying bricks -- that's the kind of mod that would suit a brick even more than the R it's been done on.

I'd love to see a brick with that kind of artwork.

given the inherent almost symmetry of the boxer engine, not to mention the jugs sticking out, it makes for better artwork. A brick, however effective as an engine, it is not a thing of beauty when observed by the untrained eye.

A work of art maybe, but art should also blend function with form.  I don't think I'd enjoy living with that day to day or riding it cross country.  Bavarian OC Chopper.
